New Battle Fleet Gothic anybody? well almost

I was so excited when I saw this on BOLS, at last I thought 'GW have seen the light and have re-invented Battle Fleet Gothic and may be 40K Epic would be next.'  Alas they haven't but it could just be taster for things to come, At-least that's what I'm hoping anyway :)

The playing pieces look cool though, maybe I could buy 10 boxes of Forbidden Stars and use them for both Epic and Battle Fleet Gothic :)

Blast from my past, Ebay sales.

As some of you are aware I have been collection figures for some time now and there comes a time when you just need to let some stuff go to make room for the new shiny shiny and for the funds topay for it :)

After selling my Warlord Titan to Dave at Weemen, who I had the pleasure of finally meeting at Blog Wars 9, with a little help from Alex who organised another great tournament. It came to pass that the Imperial Knight was once again a top tier codex at the event and that got me thinking!  It also came to my knowledge that I have not played Apocalypse for some time and as these are primarily for the Apocalypse game,  by buying a Imperial Knight army they can be used for a standard game and Apocalypse it's a win win situation. 

So it's with some regret that I have decided to let these go, for another commander to take them into battle, I hope you like my auctions.  Good luck and happy bidding :)

Chaos Knight and Lord of Skulls with legs?

A very interesting and expensive day for me today, not only the new Warlord Titan, but look what almost got missed in all the excitement.

Hang on a moment that's the exact pose I used for my Lord of War, well almost :)

I took these images while I was teaching my son how to play with Lords of War.  4 Riptides vs a Lord of Skulls, that was an interesting match up and to be fair it could of gone either way except my son wanted to use the Lord of Skulls and once again he rolled out of his skin.  I'm trying to teach him the rules and I've yet to beat him..... beginners luck :)

Grotesque commission

After a short time away from blogging I thought it was a good time to do a little showcasing and name  dropping.  It was at Blogwars 8 that the organiser Alex and I had a conversation regarding how crap, sorry I mean what little choice their was for the Dark Eldar player to field a 5 or 10 man Grotesque unit. Choosing 10 models which all look the same and for £15.50 each is not an option in my eyes and that is why I converted 10 Skaven Rat Ogres into Grotesques a couple of years ago  Which so happened to be on the board, being kicked into touch by Alex's awesome Thunderwolf Cavalry equipped with Thunder hammers Ooooch!  Even though the Grotesques where leaving the board in their handfulls Alex agreed and asked how I had made them and if I would make him 10 Grotesques for his long term Dark Eldar project.   

A couple of months later and some extensive raiding of our bits boxes, hey presto - we have another 10 Grotesques and all slightly unique.  Now I know what your thinking "so instead of converting 10 GW Grotesques you converted 2 types of Rat Ogres, would it not have been easier to convert the latter?" Probably! but they are so much bigger, cooler and more importantly CHEAPER :) 

The Forge World "Warlord Titan" has been spotted OMG!

If you have been hiding under a rock (like me) you might of missed this. It is not like the plastic Epic Warlord Titan of old or the Warlord Titan I made based on the metal Epic version, no no.  It is much better.

I wonder if Forge World would take one of my organs as payment, because I feel that would be the only way I would be able to afford one....
